When I got up yesterday morning, I felt miserable. My head and throat hurt, my nose was running a little and I had a cough and a little elevated temperature. I tried not to let it show because since yesterday, Zhan and I have been a couple for exactly 3 months and wanted to go out in the evening.

However, Zhan noticed it immediately and wanted me to go to the doctor instead of going to work. But I pretended that I was fine and that it was nothing more than a harmless cold. I didn't want to go to the doctor, because yesterday I was also supposed to finally see my brother again, who was coming to pick me up after work.

After all, my brother had made himself rare in the last few weeks. When I called him, he just said he didn't have time right now. When I asked him about a meeting, he always said he already had other plans. On many of my messages he had not even answered. I didn't know this from him before and slowly started to worry.

So I gritted my teeth and let Zhan drop me off at work. Seungyoun also quickly noticed that I was sick and wanted to send me to the doctor as well. But I explained to him that I didn't want to because I really wanted to meet my brother.

"Your brother can come to your house after all." Remarked Seungyoun.

"Yes, actually, he can. But he wants to pick me up and then take me to the park where we're going to eat blueberry waffles." I explained.

"Well at least he's letting you see him again. I can't wait to see what excuse he has for not contacting you in weeks."

"I've been thinking about it a lot, and I guess I know why."

"You do? And why is that?"

"Because of my parents. That means, because Zhan paid the money for the surgery. I think my brother is mad because we didn't tell him about it."

"But that's not your fault. That's what Zhan decided and did on his own."

"Mhm, he said as a kind of dowry to my parents, for me."

"I remember. But do you really think he's mad about it?"

"Yes, I think so. I'll find out more details later, but I think it's actually because of that."

"I hope it's not because of that Yibo. Come on, let's go inside. But if you get worse, I'll take you to the doctor. Your boyfriend will put me in hell if I don't take care of you."

"My hubby might get mad. But I think he knows by now that I can be very stubborn."

"Like you've ever been stubborn with your Hubby. He does everything you want, you don't have any reason to be stubborn at all."

"True again." I replied with a smile.

In the afternoon, I stood excitedly in the parking lot waiting for my brother. He was already over half an hour overdue when a very familiar car pulled up. His ex's!

His ex stopped next to me and said, "Hi, sorry to keep you waiting, the traffic jam here had been hell."

"What? What are you talking about?"

"Didn't your brother tell you I was coming?"

"Um, no. He was supposed to meet me here."

"I don't know anything about that. All I know is he wrote me to give his share of the deposit on the house to you today." I was totally shocked.

His ex got out of the car, handed me an envelope with a check in it and I had to sign a document to him that I had received the check. Then his ex drove away again and I stood there completely confused and angry. I tried to call my brother, but he wasn't answering his cell phone. So I took the next bus to the stop near his apartment. Even on the ride there, I realized why my brother insisted on picking me up. Namely, because he never planned to come and so his ex would find me.
